North-east India- catering to a growing number of foreign tourists

This is indeed a good news for the tourism industry of India and particularly for the north-east region that lately the foreign tourists are showing great interest towards the natural scenic richness of the region and the rise in the number of tourists with the passage of every year is bright and encouraging. The reason for the foreign tourists building an interest in this region of the country is, of course, the natural vigour and the breathtaking views of its states which is otherwise a rare sight in almost all other states of the rest of India, except for the Jammu and Kashmir and the Himachal Pradesh. No doubt, there are many obstacles to make the trip to north-east difficult for the tourists like the broken roads, lesser number of connecting flights and airports, lack of best quality hotels and certain other natural calamities, but that seems to be trivial when one aspires to discover nature at its best.

Remarkably, all eight states comprised in the North-East region of the country are rich in natural resources and are famous for the freshness in its air. The cultural variety, vitality and the assorted traditional practices are the other reasons for the foreign and other tourists of the country to find this land amazing and worth a visit. All 8 states, namely, Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim and Tripura has a bevy of tribes residing in these and the best part is that each tribe of these states has a unique identity and a unique lifestyle that invites the tourists to explore and wonder.

The rise in the statistics of foreign tourist visit is clearly stated in a written reply to a question in the Lok Sabha by Minister of State for Tourism Mahesh Sharma. Sharma stated that the number of foreign tourist arrivals in the eight northeastern states was 118,552 in 2014 in comparison to 84,820 in 2013. This indicates a 39.76 percent increase in the statistics. In 2012, the figure was 66,302.
